AMID EVIL

very fun game, if only new blood would complete all of their games like this one

One of the best boomer shooters of this generation, with unique weapons, incredible aesthetics, and a wide variety of levels and enemies. This comes with the caveat that the Forge world sucks and is genuinely unfun. Besides that the game is slightly too easy, but it still a great time.

Ill give it a half cautious recommend. Looks better than it actually plays, its very one note, but then again maybe that's the point.

It looks fantastic and has so much variety in the different locales you'll visit and enemies you'll be fighting. The weapons are all cool and interesting, and the soundtrack is killer too (Andrew Hulshult always delivers.) But man... It's just not very fun to play. Something went very wrong with combat in this game. The weapons don't have enough punch to them and aren't satisfying to use, the enemies are all very boring to fight and don't create engaging dynamic combat situations and there's just no "flow" to engaging monsters like in a more competently designed game like Dusk. You've seen all the game has to offer after episode 1 when it comes to gameplay mechanics, and then there are six more of them to slog through. I played on the hardest difficulty and found the game to be incredibly easy because there's nothing to really challenge the player. All of the enemies are very rudimentary and samey in their attack patterns. A good boomer shooter makes sure each enemy is unique and creates its own niche in combat and challenges you in a different way. Then the fun comes from putting them all in the same room together and making the player deal with them all at the same time. It's so disappointing because there's clearly a lot of talent with the devs here, but they need to go back to the drawing board and study the classics a little harder when it comes to designing a game with solid movement and engaging combat that actually feels fun to play.

pretty good doomlike/boomer shooter with good art and it looks pretty beautiful with DX12 RTX mode. the nonlinear progression through the hub is really cool and each weapon serves a purpose so the game is very fun. the only standout negative is that there are a lot platforming sections that are pretty awful. i know some levels with mazelike progression and keys is a staple of this genre, but the platforming just feels bad in this game. otherwise its really nice though, definitely worth playing if u like these type of games :)

Decent boomer shooter with nice graphics, my only complaint is the jankness of the auto slaves at times and the level design of later levels. The more I played the more frustrating the game became for me.

good

Amid Evil is yet another New Blood FPS and while I think it's definitely the weakest of the trilogy, it's still a pretty fun boomer shoot. You go through various fantasy worlds to slay their champions who've gone to the dark side (turned evil) to restore the lands or something idk. The game is certainly fun but has drawbacks, some of the enemies are pretty annoying, the weapons aren't stellar tbh, some of the levels don't do too much. For positives, the game looks ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ beautiful, no visual complaints at all, some of the levels can be incredibly unique and the bosses might be some of the best bosses in the FPS trilogy. The DLC is also pretty good and a big step up from the base game, absolutely recommended if you want more. Overall, Amid Evil doesn't do absolutely tons that you can't get in other shooters, but is still a pretty fun simple shooter, I will also admit I haven't sunk quite as much a biblical number of hours into the game as the other games in the trilogy, so I can't speak with too much authority.
